Working at the Museum of Natural Sciences this summer has been an eye-opening experience, and I cannot wait to bring it back to my students.
My Aha! moment come when I came to the realization of how big our project could be. I just figured that I’d be at the museum for a certain number of weeks, I would learn some cool stuff, and it would be over, and that’d be it. However, I didn’t realize that we were a part of a grant that JUST started, and would last 4 more years. I just felt like, “Wow! We are a part of something that could be huge!”. I cannot see where this grant takes citizen science, and I hope to be a part of it throughout the process.
This experience went by so fast, and I have worked with some of the greatest people. I know that I will get to see my fellow Kenans in future professional developments, but I will miss my Student’s Discover folks at the museum!
Such a wonderful experience!
